The Forestburg High School girls’ basketball team rallied for a non-district 46-35 victory over Bryson on Tuesday.
Lady Horns’ head girls’ basketball coach Rosana Barbosa was pleased to see her team handle this pressure-packed situation.
“They performed well,” Barbosa said. “They stayed together throughout the game.”
The score was actually close from the start with the Horns taking a 12-8 lead into the second quarter. Forestburg remained firm during the frame, taking a 23-21 lead into the locker room at the half.
For the fans in attendance at the packed gym that evening, the second half was the most intense.
The Lady Horns appeared to take their foot off the gas for a short time, and Bryson managed to pull ahead. Read more, and see the complete box score in the weekend Bowie News.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
